SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

I specialise in teaching children with a wide range of learning differences, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, processing issues, dyspraxia, and sensory processing difficulties. My approach is highly individualised, tailoring programs to meet each student’s unique needs. This may include creating visual timetables, implementing sensory plans, and adapting materials to suit their learning style.

With extensive experience supporting children who find traditional classroom settings challenging, I employ simple yet effective strategies to enhance their concentration and engagement. EG: reducing visual clutter on worksheets or allowing sensory aids like chewing gum can make a significant difference in their ability to focus.

I use a variety of evidence-based methods to support children and adolescents with special educational needs. Many of my students face challenges such as weak working memory, and I adapt my teaching to help them overcome these barriers. This includes:

  • Teaching in ways that enable the retention and application of key skills.

  • Utilising a "little and often" approach, providing multiple short sessions each week to reinforce learning through regular repetition and revision.

Flexible Support Options

I offer support for special educational needs and learning differences in various contexts:

Homeschooling

For students whose academic, behavioural, or social-emotional needs are not met in mainstream schools, I provide tailored homeschooling support. This allows for a highly personalised learning experience in a nurturing environment.

In-School Tutoring

I collaborate with schools to provide weekly tutoring sessions during school hours, with multiple short sessions each week either at school or online.

After-School Tutoring

For after-school support, students can attend sessions in person or online. These sessions are scheduled weekly or as needed to ensure consistent progress.
